Demo 4

Well here it is, my attempt at something that differs from a basic song structure. I was first thinking that I would make a song that didn’t have a chorus and it is possible for this demo to still fit that criteria. The song is made up of verses that eventually build up and change before going into a solo. The instrumental build up towards the end of the verses could easily be called a chorus but that would actually depend on the lyrics. Allow me to explain. If the lyrics were to repeat every time, then the build up would be a chorus but if the lyrics were to be different, then it would remain part of the verse. At the end of each verse there is a pause before the song enters a solo. When I someday write lyrics for this demo, I will put the refrain (line that repeats and is usually the song title) in that spot.

The second part of this song is hard to label. It starts out sounding like a bridge but never leads back to a chorus or verse. My idea when I recorded this part was to use it as a bridge at first and then have it lead into a part that sounds more like progressive rock and I still like the idea. This demo took the longest to record and I encountered a number of problems, one of which was picking up background noise when I recorded the acoustic guitar parts.
